The Fashion Faux Pas of Gabrielle An unconventional fashion blogger trying to find her place on the internet

Life

Photo Outtakes of 2017 

04/12/2017

I’m all about sharing the good, the bad and the ugly on The Fashion Faux Pas of Gabrielle – and we all know from the masses of other fashion bloggers on the internet that everyone takes hundreds upon hundreds of photos for outfits we feature in our posts (I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve read or heard this on the internet).
But what you might not know, is that not all fashion bloggers work in this way. We don’t all go out for shoots to feature outfits in posts which are totally irrelevant to what we’re writing about (I don’t know why, but this really gets my goat – I like my pictures to be relevant to what I’m writing about). We don’t all obsess over not getting the right shot, or getting multiple angles of the same outfit – some just point, shoot and go with what they’ve got.
I obviously try to pick my best shots (because deep down, I’m a vain bitch) but always make sure to keep the shit ones – I like to remind myself that I’m not on point all the time and I don’t give a shit.
So for fun, I decided to round up some horrific but amusing shots of me where I haven’t been showcasing my fabulousness all in the name of giving everyone a laugh and being honest with you all.
I normally tend to upload just one outfit picture on Instagram from a few shots – so you may well recognise a lot of the outfits shown in this post if you’ve been a follower of mine throughout the year.
So without further ado, here are some of the gems I found;
The vacant look is one I’ve got nailed – stare into space and hope for the best.
I’ve found that looking away from the camera can go very wrong and to ready myself for a morning OOTD shot, I’m better after having a warm up of stupid faces 😉
I also find camera angles can make or break a shot – too low down and my chin looks like it’s making its way to heaven, too high and I look like I’m a foot shorter. Also, can we just take a moment to admire the face I’m pulling in photo 3 above – you’re welcome internet.
I like to give Aaron a bit of a laugh during our quick shoots whilst I walk out of our block of flats – he’s not the most patient photographer so I need to keep him amused by squishing the tits together once in a while.
Again, some more very unattractive angles give for good laughs – I’ve also established I’m not that great at frontal selfies.
Some more vacant looks away from the camera. I guess what I’m trying to get across in this post is that we shouldn’t just showcase the best of us all the time – it’s healthy to be honest, put your hands up and say you’re not always the most photogenic person. I sure as hell am not – we’ve seen that here today!
Everyone is going to have a stash of these somewhere (I think?!) and I’d love it if I could encourage us all to make some fun out of ourselves once in a while!
Let me know which is your favourite shot in the comments below (my personal fave is me sitting on my bed in my denim jacket looking murderous AF).

And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to make myself feel like I was going somewhere tonight by putting a full face of makeup on, with the intention of sitting on the sofa sharing a bottle of Disaronno with Aaron to see the new year in! We might hit up the kitchen, the living room and Aaron suggested the bathroom but I wasn’t sure 😂 what have you got planned for tonight? And Happy New Year to everyone!
And that’s Christmas over for another year (alth And that’s Christmas over for another year (although let’s be honest, 2020 may as well not have happened!) and I just hope to god 2021 is a damn site better for everyone! Since I’ve been attempting to cut out purchasing brand new clothing all together, bar a few items such as underwear and pyjamas, I’m hoping once Hertfordshire is out of Tier 4 that I can head to the shops and do some serious secondhand shopping and use the vouchers I got to buy myself some new beauty bits. How was your quiet Christmas and have you got any beauty recommendations for me? #hertsbloggers #fashionbloggeruk #ukfashionblogger #ukstyleblogger #hertsbloggerlove #sustainablefashionblogger #secondhandfashionblogger #petitebloggeruk #petitefashionbloggeruk #outfitinspo #mylookoftheday #ootdshare #ukfashionblog #petitestyle #hertfordshirebloggers #funkyfashion #ukfashion #ootdinspo #canon700d #canon #amatuerphotography #aspiringfashionblogger #aspiringblogger
Hello strangers! Thought I should pop on here and Hello strangers! Thought I should pop on here and let you all know I haven’t forgotten about this online world, I’ve just needed some time to myself after almost 5 years of continuous life sharing! I also haven’t been heading off anywhere glam or buying much to share on here, so today’s snap is a bit of a throw back to just before the first lockdown when I found this gorgeous wool blazer in @british_heart_foundation from @poloralphlauren 🥰 how are you all and have you managed to find any bargain secondhand finds?! ♻️🌿
I’ll be honest and say that I’ve completely go I’ll be honest and say that I’ve completely gone off of Instagram over the last few months and popped on here this morning for the first time in weeks to see if I could get back into the swing again. To be honest I’ve been so busy with work most days, that when it comes to having some free time all I want to do is slob out, watch something on the telly and do nothing - I spend most of my life on my laptop or work phone, that the last thing I want to do when I’m finished is churn out more content. But I’ve come to realise that’s okay - I don’t need to let my social media dictate how I live my life, or feel bad about the fact that I don’t have certain things, can’t go certain places or live a certain life - because social media (and especially Instagram), is where people showcase their best selves and not necessarily what’s going on off screen. I realised a while ago that jealousy isn’t going to get me anywhere; I might look at someone online and envy their life, but should be thankful (and am!) for the life that I’ve already got - there’s always going to be someone worse off and everyone has different goals or ideals in life, so there’s no use in getting bogged down when I can’t afford to go certain places, have certain things, when I’ll get where I need to be in my own time. I just need to carry on doing my own thing and not let the Instagram envy get me down ❤️
{GIFTED} Thank you so much to @kaolin.kiln for sen {GIFTED} Thank you so much to @kaolin.kiln for sending me these gorgeous earrings from her Etsy store - everything is zero waste and all packaging is 100% recyclable!  I hope you’re all enjoying the gorgeous sunshine and making sure your skin is well protected from the sun - you don’t want to end up tossing and turning because you got burnt and turned into a radiator in a day! We went food shopping and out to the in-laws for our weekly Sunday roast, so I’m now spending the afternoon keeping as cool as I can in the flat, readying myself for another week of work in the heat!
What a gorgeous day we have today! I’ve spent mo What a gorgeous day we have today! I’ve spent most of the weekend holed up at home, sweating my tits off and binge watching Empire, but it was nice to leave the flat to do some food shopping and have a Sunday roast with the in-laws! On the way home we stopped at a field near home to take some photos for today’s post and it was fun to try out a new location, rocking my #secondhanddress I picked up from @scopecharity last weekend!
Finally managed to grab a few photos this afternoo Finally managed to grab a few photos this afternoon and was so excited to share this #secondhand dress I picked up from a vintage shop in Hitchin yesterday, along with a load of other bits from various charity shops! We luckily managed to miss the rain both today and yesterday, so got to enjoy some sunshine for a little while! What have you been up to this weekend and have you managed to hit the shops since they introduced the mandatory face masks in shops?
